Called around Repco, Super cheap auto and Bruson and none have Bendix Ultimates...

They do have at Burson for $59 front and back Bendix GCT.

Are these any good? I dont plan to go tracks just for normal street driving.

Also is machining the disks a must or can I skip that part?

Cheers.

Generally you only machine the discs if they have noticeable wear on them (use your fingernail from the edge, if there is more than a 1 or 2mm gap, they certainly need machining, or possible replacement.).

Can any mechanic workshop machine the disks for a skyline or must i go to some special one?

Also how much is the process?

i recommend getting better brake pads matey... as you all know we all spend how much money to make our cars go faster, but sometimes very little on stopping. its a performance car, and better brakes mite save your life or someone elses life.. just my 2c >_<

Don't use greenstuff try the ferodo pads T2000 better for performance driving plus you can get the pads and discs macnined at Race Brakes Sydney.

The disc rotors may also need machining because often the rotor will wear on uneven or on a taper so machining will fix that and make the surface flat for the pads to bed in properly.

yeah thats pretty cheap, we do em for $26 per rotor, but add to that half our labour if your not getting pads done at the same time.

through my work you get Ferodo Excel pads (bendix advance equivelant) with rotors machined, all fitted an done for $201

just to give you a reference

iam running the bedix ceramic pads at the moment, lacking in the performance area but absolutely no brake dust. The last pads i had were the bedix metal kings or something along those lines with heavy metal compound, i found these very very good for stopping but shit load of brake dust and also being a metal pad they will wear and tear your disk alot quiker

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
